Fortunately the dems can filibuster that in the senate indefinitely

I've heard good things about a ton of these. I'd most like to play Slugblaster, Sentai and Sensibility, and Avatar

This. I use symfonium for my audiobooks. Great app.

Right, that's their point. Chocolate chip cookies can be made to be chewy when cold instead of crunchy, in which case they're still much better than crunchy chocolate chip cookies.

Also 3.125 Hyundai Kona Electrics!

Yeah, it's really all just cost savings. On their overpriced "luxury" cars

They're usable as adapters and for 2D stuff, but performance is significantly worse for 3D due to being stuck at the minimum clock speed

But also just, in general, companies are not gonna be chill with people demanding they give them a copy of their backend software. It's just not gonna happen, and the EU is definitely the weaker of the 3 major markets. Companies are just gonna go "lol, now you don't get to play online I guess" instead.

Good thing they can just put an expiration date after which the game isn't guaranteed to be supported instead, then.

It fixes issues with games. If the game has no issues with regular Proton then the answer is generally "no".

In fact, with regular Proton you're much more likely to have pre-compiled shaders available for your system through Steam, which should improve performance by reducing stuttering.

I'm a software developer too, funny that.

I have also read the proposal. They ask that if it is not feasible, that publishers put an expiration date on their products, to clarify that the "game purchase" is actually the purchase of a limited-time license that is not guaranteed to continue working. The current practices are deceptive.

So firstly, that's extremely easy to achieve, no more onerous than a decent warranty (or even a disclaimer that there is no warranty and it's never guaranteed to work), but also, there are third party hosting companies that game publishers could hand off hosting duties to without open-sourcing, creating a final "single player only" patch, or otherwise creating a gentler off-ramp to allow the community to continue to maintain games on their own dime.

Only naive, entitled gamers would demand such a wild thing. It's not going to get past any courts

Which is why the SKG campaign is specifically not demanding that. Pirate Software has misrepresented the stance of the SKG campaign consistently in his videos. Seriously.

Can anyone think of similarly generation-defining food items in media?

 

It's based on episode 4 of Mobile Suit Gundam. I'm making a concept album that covers the key events of the show/movie trilogy. Volume I, covering the first third, is complete.
